What is the gain? What is a single gain you think they have milked from their users?

But nobody pays for Firefox? Do you mean the "recommended pages"?

It's always amazing to me how people will blame those that couldn't stomach voting for a pro-genocide candidate, instead of blaming the candidate for being pro-genocide.

No, but his polling that was better than Clinton in red state supports the belief that he would have won.

Also, it was rigged, Bernie sued the DNC arguing that it was. The DNC pretty much admitted it as their defence:

"...the DNC and Wasserman Schultz have characterized the DNC charter’s promise of ‘impartiality and evenhandedness’ as a mere political promise—political rhetoric that is not enforceable in federal courts."

Well, if the Democrats were just doing nothing wrong, I'd be OK with that. But they are doing a lot wrong. Just off the top of my head:

  • Bombing children
  • Torturing innocent people
  • Removing highly-popular social programs
  • Increasing funding to the military and intelligence agencies
  • Deprortations without due process
  • Increasing funding to the police
  • Handing the election to Trump
  • Fighting against healthcare for all
  • Giving taxes to their rich friends
  • Backing a genocide
  • Keeping their friends out of prison

I'm not asking for a perfect candidate. I'm asking for a candidate that isn't a monster. But the Democrats aren't interested in providing a candidate that isn't a monster.

If you like. I can't help but see continued support for the lesser evil as naively defeatist.

Pretending to fight the greater evil, but then immediately caputulating and building out the tools that they use to be evil is enabling the greater evil. Calling the lesser evil out for pretending is not enabling the greater evil.

It's political leverage. A lot of voters will follow Sanders' lead. The threat of a lot of people not voting for Harris would have pulled her to the left, and made her give consessions. Instead, he signaled to the rest of the Democrats that he will vote for them, no matter how terrible they are.

I want him to be oppositional. I'm against the Democrats as long as they keep being the "lesser evil".

The "DNC" doesn't run anyone, they support the Democratic candidate once chosen.

You mean the same DNC that argued in court that they can support whatever candidate they want, despite what the voters say?

He could have said "I'm not endorsing her, until she gives us ".

Look at the "wins" that the Democrats have achieved:

  • Bombing children
  • Torturing innocent people
  • Removing highly-popular social programs
  • Increasing funding to the military and intelligence agencies
  • Deprortations without due process
  • Increasing funding to the police
  • Handing the election to Trump
  • Fighting against healthcare for all
  • Giving taxes to their rich friends
  • Backing a genocide
  • Keeping their friends out of prison

And yet, some people can't figure out why we don't want Bernie to keep supporting the Dems.

They get money from Google, advertisements, and selling data. Did you think Mozilla made it without paying their employees and executives?

Money for their executives
